The Loganville and Lawrenceville Railroad (L&L) was founded in 1898 and operated a 10-mile (16 km) line between Loganville and Lawrenceville, Georgia, USA. It was owned by the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railway which was incorporated into the Seaboard Air Line Railway on 1 July 1900.[1] The L&L was completely abandoned on 17 January 1932.[1] The tracks were removed in 1933.[1]

The 10.33 mile run departed Loganville at 7:30am arriving at 8:10am, and depared again at 5:20pm arriving at 6pm. The return trips were from Lawrenceville 9:25am, arriving at 10:05, and departing 6:35pm arriving at 7:15pm.[1] There was no turntable for the engine in Loganville, so it was turned around using a Y track.[1]
